Started taking boron on advice of the board a few weeks ago. I have a couple questions, does time of day matter? Do I take full dose at once or split it up? I've seen a couple places where you should be cycling off and on every few weeks? I appreciate anyone with experience taking it helping me out. Tia

21 hour half life in body. I take a small dose in morning and a small dose in evening usually. 3mg each. Sometimes 6mg if I miss. I don’t intentionally cycle, but it happens sometimes when traveling or find those lazy habits.

Based off replies here and LSU7777 that does the research I take 6mg morning on empty stomach and 6mg at night.

NOW brand off Amazon. 3mg capsules

I’m thinking of doing this. Have you noticed any difference since you’ve been taking it?

I take 6mg in the morning and 6mg at night. No rhyme or reason other than suggestions here.

Be careful going to the bathroom in the morning as your morning wood might knock a hole in the bathroom door.

because of half life i prefer to split and have others do the same

with that said...some people have complained it alters their sleep patterns so they take in the morning all at once.

21 hour half life means will be some fluctation if all at once but in the end who cares

main thing i have notices is morning wood every day, stronger erections. the things like body comp and stuff like that are harder to tell

I just started last week, I take 15 mg’s all at once in the morning.

My erections seem to be harder

I started taking 9 a day a couple weeks ago, can't say I noticed a difference. I'm going to split 6 and 6 a day this week and see.

Does the type of boron matter? I have 10mg of citrate in my multi (muscle tech) I haven’t noticed much.

I’ve been taking 6mg in the morning and 6mg before bed for about a month now. I’ve noticed no difference, but I’m going to get bloodwork done in about 2 months and see how it’s going.

The stomach acid inactivates the active ingredients so most of us snort it or smoke it

Tried Boron twice and took it first thing in the morning and I couldn’t sleep for shite

I was wired at night and would just stare at the ceiling and have to drink a ton of NyQuil just to go to sleep. I looked it up on Reddit and there were a ton of people just like me that just couldn’t deal with the insomnia

Had to quit

This has been my experience after having started on boron a couple of weeks ago. Blood work is coming up in May, so I'm eager to see where free T will be.
